It is our intention that this forum is disbanded. Failing someone making a very pursuasive argument to the contrary I shall in about a weeks time make all the arrangements to disband this forum. The posts will not disappear though, they will be shifted to other forums such as the general forum so as such will still be searchable.

It seems that the interest in this subject has waned and it is time to move on.

Feel free to post to this thread if you have a very strong opinion on keeping this forum or otherwise.

In discussions in the mods forum we are coming around to the opinion that perhaps the content of this forum should stay in one place. In other words we look like we`ll be keeping this forum live. It would be nice to think that new life could be brought to this forum and not just leaving it as a repository for an archive.

1. Open the forum to anyone, not just folks that bought the book. I think one original concern was to keep unwanted comments from anyone who wasn't serious about learning the ww material. Unwanted comments, though, could actually create a mental training learning situation--if folks get offended or defensive about comments then it is an opportunity to talk about ego.

2. I could post mental training questions that I've found most climbers find challenging. Then I can guide the discussion a bit, without killing it, in a way that allows people to learn new perspectives. I have questions I've received from climbers and newsletter topics I written on that could provide plenty of questions to develop interest again.

Let me know what you think or how I could help. thanks, arno warriorsway@mindspring.com

If revived, this would be one of the most useful and serious forums on rc.com. I noticed that questions related to mental training (leading+fear, my first trad lead + fear, etc) appear at different rc threads quite regularly. If they all were directed to the RWW forum, provided of course that the book requirement is lifted, the forum would not appear dead.

It is very kind of Arno to offer to guide discussions on RWW forum. This opens a unique possibility to rc.com members to interact with him.

Arno I`d be ecstatic if you were to bring new life to this forum. I shall open it up to all forthwith. Thanks heaps for showing an interest in keeping the forum alive.

Could there somehow be a public announcement declaring the opening of the forum? And maybe even changing the name of the forum to Mental Training - The Rock Warriors Way' for the people who have no idea what RWW is but are struggling with these issues or interested in improving. An announcement on the front page could entice people to check out the forum and contribute.

I would love to see more activity in this forum. I have found the advice and insight here so useful. I think it's worthwhile to open it up and attempt another shot.

I think it should stay where it is and not get moved to "General" In general section the threads from this section will just get lost "in between" and it will also make harder for some of us to read it/follow it. It will also make harder for Arno to answer those threads. ( my opinion )
